Description
Saints, Birds and Devils takes readers on a poetic tour of mediaeval European history, with a focus on the relationships between birds and human beings. The poems respond to a wide range of sources from the Middle Ages, from Icelandic romances and Norse legends, to stories from the lives of saints, monarchs and scholars. The collection concludes with a series of paraphrases of mediaeval poems in modern English. Illustrated by the author with mediaeval bestiary-style paintings, this is a collection designed to delight.
